Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

In a highly concentrated salt solution, concentration of water is comparatively lower than the fluid inside red blood cells. This develops a concentration gradient.

Due to this difference in concentration, the water starts flowing out of the red blood cells across its permeable layer. Due to this movement of water, red blood cell shrinks. This physical phenomenon in which a substance move from a region of high concentration to a region with lower concentration across any permeable membrane is called Osmosis.

This process is called osmosis whereby water exits the cell through its selectively permeable membrane and into the salt solution to dilute and balance the pressure caused by the concentrated salt solution.

A neglected child is intensely disliked by classmates. <br> a. True <br> b. False
givi [52]
True - by a majority, at least. This would be because when a young child is growing up, they need a surplus of attention. when not provided it will cause the development of self and brain, and so understanding of others, to be hindered. With little compassion and bad habits comes dislike from peers.

What is an important quality of protocells?
Alecsey [184]
Protocells are self-organized, spherical collection of lipids. This is the proposed as the stepping stone to the origin life. One of the important qualities of protocells is its self-replicating, using the amphiphilic molecules. This requires repeatable set of chemical events.

Which shows the order of the objects’ kinetic energies, from least to greatest??
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer;

X, Z, Y, W

Explanation;

-Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. As long as an object is moving at the same velocity, it will maintain the same kinetic energy.

-The kinetic energy of an object is calculated from the velocity and the mass of the object. K.E =1/2 mv²

-From the formula the velocity is squared which means it can have a significant impact on kinetic energy, thus the higher the velocity the higher the kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is also impacted by the mass of a body, such that the higher the mass the higher the kinetic energy.
